I've been sorting through old mags 1980's to 1983 bmx actions, bmx plus, bicycle motocross action and some aussie mags-bmx pancake, bmx torque and bmx TUF moves a weekly paper. its very strange to look back on and extreamly interesting ( Am I allowed to use a wordlike extream in VBMX)radical is probably better

fatnold, damn, he has more than 1 NS "byke" i should be more careful with my trades
mattblack it's ok, i wouldn't dream of seriously racing a freestyle companies bike anyway.
and the OS DB has an 18" TT. Perfect............if your a 3 yr old (my 6 yr olds 2005 mini gt has an 18.75 TT)
what do you guys think of an OS demonstration bike race happening at Orange Blossom? we'd easily get a full gate. I guess the *cough* older *cough* guys would be into it, but i know the kiddies wouldn't give a toss.......good or bad idea?

ozdirtboy, i don't fancy hitting those first doubles at castle hill on my '81 GT Pro, 18.5" top tube. might have to put some tires on the '83 PL24 cruiser. (you've probably already hit them on the floval anyway.)

pu55y!
Heres my goose with the alloy flange 5 spokes back on. Looks much better. Gotta get some better grips and rechrome the bars and forks. Then I'll be happy.

Hi all,
Just looking thru my stuff, and i wanna know if anyone out there has an original comp 3 YELLOW 1.75 or 2.125 tyre?
It MUST be the yellow/black label, to match one i have here. (no, not the grey/green or rainbow comp3 logo's).....
Trying to complete a project with matching tyres ;-)
Thanx in advance to all ;-)

fatnold, i believe the doubles won't be there for that much longer....rumour is less than a week, maybe???
i remember when i built my quad and went there for a ride a couple of years ago. Couldn't keep the thing in a straight line. Thinking back, maybe it's a bad idea
get that sidehack finished mattblack...now that would be something worth watching for everyone

mattblack, you have seen me hit those doubles a number of times before and after my accident on various size bikes. ( with and without funny forks). what i haven't seen is you back face the tripple step up.

ozdirtboy, yes, i heard the bad news. it will be a shame. that is one of the best first straights of any track. the changes they made to the second straight where never what was imagined ( ie, a replica of the 2003 worlds 3rd straight) it was faster and flowed better before the changes. i can only fear the same for the first straight. oh well. it just makes mtb'ing that much more attractive.
